RADU ALBOT VS NOVAK DJOKOVIC PREDICTION

It would be one of the biggest shocks in US Open history if Radu Albot was to overcome the unrelenting juggernaut that is Novak Djokovic and his best chance will be that he puts in the performance of his life, whilst Djokovic fails to show his best Tennis after recovering from his exploits in Paris earliest this month.

If the superstar Serb replicates the sort of dominance he showed in the Olympics and makes a smooth transition from clay to a hard court surface, then he should wind up far too strong for Albot. Expect to control all aspects of this match and ultimately triumph in straight sets.

RADU ALBOT VS NOVAK DJOKOVIC TIP: NOVAK DJOKOVIC TO WIN 3-0
